When To Demolish Concrete Structures? 

Sometimes we try to repair damaged concrete structures and surfaces. However, there are instances when the need to demolish becomes necessary.

Concrete demolition refers to tearing down a concrete slab or a concrete structure. Demolishing concrete structures is essential in many situations. Here are some of them:

Renovations

Some renovation projects require small demolition jobs. This refers to specific areas that need improvements. It could be an area that is damaged, and repair is no longer necessary or updating an outdated structure.

Deep Cracks

Deep, wide, and extensive cracks are one of the major signs that concrete slabs or structures are no longer safe. Structural engineers would normally recommend building a new concrete structure when this occurs.

Sunken Concrete 

There are many reasons a concrete slab sinks or settles. But, one of the most common reasons is poor construction or water intrusion. A concrete structure built on a poor foundation will likely sink over time. Having a poor base means not compacting the soil and using the wrong materials. It is common to see concrete sinking around the perimeter of your foundation.

Signs of Frost Heave

Frost heaves are very common in cold places. If you live in a cold area, it is always essential to check your concrete surfaces. Unfortunately, moisture on the ground can push concrete slabs upward. This results in a safety hazard for you and your family.

Extreme Spalling

Spalling refers to concrete that cracks and separates from its substrate. A variety of factors can cause concrete to spall or pit. Compared with repairing or resurfacing the extremely damaged surface, demolishing it is more economical.

New Construction

The construction of a new building is one of the most popular reasons for demolishing an existing concrete structure. We remove concrete structures to build new ones.

Complete demolition is the only solution when concrete structures are severely damaged. Tearing down your property using a reliable demolition method is the best option to ensure structural integrity and safety.

Knoxville Concrete Contractors Co has years of experience in demolishing concrete. Our team has impeccable knowledge and expertise in tearing down concrete structures. We use the latest concrete breaking tools and equipment to ensure a safe and quick demolition job. The tools and equipment we use depend on the project. To break concrete, for example, we use these tools:

• Bolt cutters

• Polyethylene plastic
• Reciprocating saw
• Wheelbarrow

For challenging demolition projects, we use power tools, such as:

• Sledgehammer,
• Jackhammer, and
• Chipping hammer.

Demolition jobs - whether they are small or huge - can be too risky. We follow construction safety rules and regulations to ensure our team is safe and avoid any untoward circumstances. This includes wearing safety gear like safety goggles, gloves, and hearing protection during the process and while on site. We also have safety officers in place to implement all safety guidelines.

Concrete Removal

Is your concrete driveway or concrete patio showing signs of major damage? Our professional team can take care of it. 

In the event of damage that is limited to a specific area, we remove concrete instead. We use different tools to break concrete. Our team carefully takes down the damaged surface to ensure the other parts of the structure will not be affected. Furthermore, we ensure we remove wire mesh and reinforced concrete as accurately as possible. At Knoxville Concrete Contractors Co, our concrete removal costs reasonably. We have a team working on ensuring we have the most competitive concrete removal prices in town. So, while DIY concrete removal is a good idea, we recommend leaving the job to the experts.

Concrete Disposal 

Broken concrete slabs, concrete chunks, and many more - you will find all these once the demolition or removal job is over. At Knoxville Concrete Contractors Co, we take care of everything. We handle the proper disposal of demolished concrete slabs. We bring all concrete debris to a facility that turns concrete debris into recycled concrete. Like the rest of our services, our concrete disposal fees are very minimal.

Concrete Demolition Methods

Each demolition job is different. Breaking an old concrete slab requires a different approach than tearing down a concrete building. At Knoxville Concrete Contractors Co, we determine the proper method per demolition project. Our team ensures we perform the right approach and use proper tools to ensure maximum results.

Knoxville Concrete Contractors Co is here for you every step of the way. Our team visits the concrete structure once the consultation is complete. Then, we will recommend a safe and effective approach to take down the structure based on the assessment. It is essential to know that the demolition approach will vary depending on the structure. For your reference, though, here are the different demolition methods we use in different projects:

Ball and Crane Method

This method is ideal for tearing down concrete buildings. True to its name, we use a ball and crane to demolish the structure. Our highly trained operator performs the job by either swinging or dropping the ball into the structure. It is essential to know that this approach creates many vibrations, noise, and dust.

Chemical and Mechanical Bursting

Concrete surfaces are split in both chemical and mechanical bursting. But, the process of splitting concrete varies. We either place an expansive slurry in a particular pattern of boreholes or use a splitting machine that works with hydraulic pressure. In comparison with other methods, these processes are controlled. While both methods effectively tear down concrete, they have significant differences. Unlike chemical bursting, mechanical bursting is cheaper and produces vibration and noise.

Dismantling Technique

This demolition approach uses a saw to cut concrete into smaller pieces. We then remove broken concrete using a crane. The dismantling technique is best for demolition jobs that require minimal impact. Unlike other methods, this technique creates less noise and dust.

Manual Demolition

The manual demolition approach is ideal for tearing down smaller structures. We use this method to break concrete floors, patios, and other concrete surfaces. We also do manual demolition if underground utility lines are involved to ensure they are safe. Unlike other methods, though, this takes up more time depending on the surface we are working on. If the surface is thick, the more time we need. Otherwise, we will finish earlier.
